On Saturday, Inter Miami faced the New York Red Bulls in a nightmare matchup, and Sergio Busquets did not appear to be having fun.
Soon after Lewis Morgan scored a goal past CJ dos Santos to give the New York Red Bulls an early lead, the Spaniard was visibly irritated, probably directed towards Lawson Sunderland. The game ended in a 4-0 loss.
What was Sergio Busquets seen doing on Saturday as Inter Miami suffered a setback? Let’s examine this.
Lawson Sunderland is being lectured by Sergio Busquets.
After Morgan scored in just three minutes, the Inter Miami No. 5 was observed complaining a little bit to Sunderland about his part in the goal.
With only a single ball, Dante Vanzier was able to slide his partner in and aid the Scotland international by taking out many Inter Miami opponents.
The Mirror was also present when Busquets extended his arms and seemed to question the 22-year-old Sunderland.
Actually, the big gap that appeared in the Inter Miami midfield was partly the result of the 35-year-old’s actions.
A player with Busquets’ level of expertise ought to have been able to detect that a large gap had formed behind him and that Morgan’s goal might have been avoided with a slight backward motion.
The No. 5 for Inter Miami may raise his head.
Busquets may still feel proud of himself despite the 4-0 loss, even though he could have done better for Morgan’s opening goal. According to the statistics, he was Inter Miami’s best player by a wide margin.
For his efforts on Saturday, the man from Sabadell was given a 7.3 match rating on SofaScore.
With the exception of Luis Suarez (who scored 7.2), no other Inter Miami player was able to score higher than 7.0.
In addition, Busquets had an incredible 123 touches of the ball and completed 93 passes, according to SofaScore, as he persistently attempted to create opportunities for Inter Miami.
Additionally, the former Spain international won five out of eight aerial duels and six out of seven ground duels.
Although he will surely be upset by the amount of space Morgan found behind Inter Miami’s midfield for that first goal, Busquets gave a mature display.
